The problem is that they are not listed on the RSS feed, so we need to add
custom tags, and actually adding them involves adding a filter/hook in
WordPress. The remaining part is obtaining the URLs of the items in other
languages, which I'm sure Polylang has a function for.

I am not familiar with WordPress, but I found that the `rss2_ns` hook [1] can
be used to add the custom namespace and the `rss2_item` hook [2] [3] can be
used to write the custom tags. These should be useful if we do need to
cross-reference the English feed and the localized feed.

A dedicated language selection for news is definitely useful. We probably
should still find a way to choose the appropriate default for the best user
experience, but this has a lower priority.
